Years ago, experts predicted that the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome would spread to every part of the world and every part of society. The articles by Studemeister and Kent and Calonge and co-workers(*) that follow are further evidence that this is happening. These and other articles we will publish in the next few months confirm our worst fears and challenge all of us to continue engaging in basic, applied, and behavioral research and to continue providing the very best care, ranging from prevention through hospice, with an emphasis on compassion.
多年前,专家们预测获得性免疫缺陷综合征将蔓延至世界的每一个角落以及社会的每一个层面。随后斯图德迈斯特、肯特以及卡隆格及其同事撰写的文章(*)进一步证明了这种情况正在发生。我们将在未来几个月发表的这些以及其他文章证实了我们最担忧的事情,并促使我们所有人继续开展基础研究、应用研究和行为研究,继续提供从预防到临终关怀的最优质护理,重点是要有同情心。
